ORDER OF CIDEF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE 

DISMISSING PROCEEDING WITH PREJUDICE 

By motions se~ed December 22,2016, 1 and January 31,2017/ Respondent states that, 

because the case has been settled, it withdraws its request for a hearing."3 Since no motion is 

required, each motion is deemed to be a withdrawal of Respondent's request for hearing.4 

Accordingly, pursuant to Ru1e 215, this proceeding is dismissed with prejudice.5 The 

FAA shall send the Judge and Docket a copy of any compromise order or final order assessing 

1 Motion to Withdraw Request for Hearing, at 1 (Dec. 22, 2016) ("Respondent Trans Time Express, through its 

attorney Cameron Niakan, hereby withdraws its request for a hearing, as the case has been settled by the parties."). 2 Motion to Withdraw Request for Hearing, at 1 (Jan. 31, 2017) ("Respondent Trans Time Express ('Trans'), 

through counsel, Cameron Niak:an, Esq. hereby withdraws its request for a hearing in this matter, as the case has 

been settled between the parties."). 

· 3 Though each motion certifies service on Complainant's Counsel, neither mentions filing with the Hearing 

Docket. Contrary to (1) the procedural rules (see, e.g., Rules 210 (filing of documents) & 218(c) (filing motions), 

available athttps://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2016-title14-voll/pdf/CFR-2016-title14-vol1-part13.pdf), 

(2) prior orders (see, e.g., Notice of Assignment of Proceeding (July 17, 2015) ("All future pleadings and other 

communications regarding this proceeding shall be served on the Judge, the FAA Hearing Docket, and the other 

persons on the attached Service List."); Order of Chief Administrative Law Judge Granting Consent Motion to 

Extend Deadlines, at 2 (Dec. 12, 2016) ("On or before December 23, 2016, a party shall serve, file, and deliver to 

the Judge- (a) A report that the parties have failed to settle; or (b) A notice, in accordance with§ 13.215, in which 

either Complainant withdraws its complaint or Respondent withdraws its request for hearing and answer.")), and 

(3) statements by Respondent's Counsel, in response to status inquiries, that he would comply with the December 

12, 2016, order, neither motion apparently has been filed, and neither is available in Docket No. F AA-20 12-1260 via 

fdms.gov or regulations.gov. To avoid further delay, we will provide the Hearing Docket with copies of the unfiled 

documents. 4 See Rule 215 ("At any time before or during a hearing, an agency attorney may withdraw a complaint or a 

party may withdraw a request for a hearing without the consent of the administrative law judge." 5 ld. ("If an agency attorney withdraws the complaint or a party withdraws the request for a hearing ... , the 

administrative law judge shall dismiss the proceedings under this subpart with prejudice.).
